Transposit announced new Actions for
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Azure connectors
that empower engineering and cloud operations teams to move faster - with
assurance - by enabling self-service infrastructure through automated
workflows. Transposit Actions can be added to any step within a Runbook to
create automated workflows across diverse stacks so that whichever tools teams
are using, visibility, context and actionability are right at their fingertips.
Bringing cloud services into these workflows empowers CloudOps to deliver great
customer service and ensure reliability, ultimately driving business value by
allowing engineering teams to get immediate access to the services and
infrastructure they need to ship software rapidly and safely.
Transposit's
no-code builder coupled with developer customization enables operations to
create self-service workflows that let users do everything from provisioning
infrastructure to creating new accounts and permissions. Transposit takes a
human-in-the-loop approach to automation, enabling teams to create workflows
that have varying levels of human intervention. Teams can create workflows for
fully automated self-serve requests where no human intervention is required.
Transposit Runbooks ensure that failure is anticipated, with "if fails" logic
baked right in. Users can choose what automated actions are executed if a
Runbook fails, whether it's creating an incident or alerting a service owner.
Transposit reduces the manual toil of operations by allowing automation to take
the brunt of the work, while bringing humans in when needed.
"Transposit
workflows empower anyone across digital operations to take action," said
Divanny Lamas, Transposit CEO. "Rather than relying on a specialist in a tool
like Terraform to make every change, these workflows enable more people to add
value, accomplish important tasks and focus on key business priorities.
Transposit is democratizing the actions that keep operations and development
teams moving forward, reducing the burden on specialists and accelerating the
rate of innovation."
New
Actions for AWS, GCP and Azure connectors provide powerful uses cases that
enable engineering and cloud operations teams to:
- Immediately
access data from cloud services (e.g., recent deployments, service status
across regions, list instances).
- Take
action on these connected cloud services:
- During
an incident, use human-in-the-loop automation, where humans use
contextual data to choose to restart a server or scale an instance. Teams
may even fully automate these actions if there are repetitive incidents
that take the same action every time.
- Service
request automation (i.e., provision a new EC2 instance, create a new AWS
account, grant new permissions).
Transposit's Self-Service Workflows Largely Reduce Potential for
Errors
This
level of automation not only accelerates access to services teams need to get
work done, but also adds a layer of assurance. Operations teams are able to
create guardrails for configuration management processes through workflows that
take input from the user, get data from another system and dynamically generate
code - ultimately ensuring that the state of infrastructure is as expected
before making any modifications. Rather than manually fulfilling a request,
which has the potential for human error, workflows executable through chat or
the Transposit UI offer a safe interface to make configuration changes using
pre-configured input fields and managed authorization. Simple input models
reduce the potential for errors by ensuring descriptions are formatted
correctly and modifications are predictable and consistent.
The
new Actions for AWS, GCP and Azure also ensure that when incidents do occur,
operations teams have both the data needed to make decisions and the ability to
take immediate action in any connected cloud service. Transposit's automatic
Timelines capture every action by humans or machines so teams can evaluate how
automated workflows are being used and continuously improve the experience.
Timelines also ensure compliance with a full audit trail. Transposit Runbooks
use human-in-the-loop automation to automate the repetitive tasks of incident
response, accelerating the speed at which teams can go from alert to
investigation. Should an incident meet certain trigger criteria, teams can
create Runbooks that automatically run an AWS service status check or create a
Slack channel, Jira ticket or any other common incident response actions.
Instantly, people are brought together with the contextual data needed to use
judgment and decide next steps. Using Actions within a Runbook, teams can
instantly scale a server or role back a recent change - all from Slack or
Microsoft Teams, or from the Transposit web UI.
